As others have already pointed out, if up2date didn't know that MySQL and mysql are the same thing then why did it remove MySQL when it installed mysql? If it didn't realise that they were the same, then it just removed a random package from my system - even more hateful! And yes, an 'Are you sure?' question would have been nice before it did anything additional - let alone a downgrade, which one would generally expect to come with a fairly noticeable warning as well as the bail-out opportunity.There's stuff above here
